Lana Del Rey promised us everything from the start: “It’s you, it’s you, it’s all for you / Everything I do,” she sang on 2011’s “Video Games.” Since then, she’s remained completely committed to that line, doing everything in her power to continue to shock and seduce us with her purrs, her pouts, and her pen. As a songwriter, Lana Del Rey is utterly fearless. Some have even suggested she may just be the American Morrissey. Sure, she’s just as romantic and melodramatic. But she’s also crude and brash, sexy and sincere, and her sardonic side is vastly underrated. Though her tragic tales may be rife with clichés, her evocative telling of them remains her most intoxicating trait. Her fantasies and failures come alive in every vivid color, but what keeps us coming back for more is her unabashed openness: She’ll tell you exactly what she wants, when she wants it, and how she’s gonna get it. Here are 10 of Lana Del Rey’s sultriest, most biting lines.

“Come and take a walk on the wild side / Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain / You like your girls insane”—”Born to Die”
